RHODES FORUM TESTIMONIALS
Dialogue is a non-confrontational communication, where both partners are willing to learn from the other and therefore leads much farther into finding new grounds together.I had the honor and the privilege to participate in the 15th edition of the Rhodes Forum last October and it made me triply happy. First, the Forum allowed me to enrich myself from the exchanges of very high level with the participants of proven expertise. Then, I appreciated the interpersonal skills and professionalism of the DOC Research Institute’s team. Finally, island of splendor and culture, Rhodes conquered me. The Rhodes Forum is both a dynamic and a spirit to be preservedDioncounda Traoré, President of Mali (2012-2013)
I appreciate organisations such as the Rhodes Forum for stepping in to fill the gap, with programmes that promote understanding, unity, and equality. Advocacy by the Rhodes Forum and similar organisations is exceedingly important because they provide neutral platforms for advice on global issues.Goodluck Jonathan, president of Nigeria (2010-2015)
We are searching all around the world for some
sort of intermediary forces that could bring people
together to start the dialogue and to discuss
substantial issues that are the underlying causes
for the conflicts that we are in right now. That is
the role of the Rhodes Forum.Alfred Gusenbauer, Federal Chancellor of Austria (2007-2008)

It takes a lot of courage to come up with
thoughts and this is what this Forum is all about:
to challenge existing structures and to challenge
things that seem to be carved in stone.Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg,Federal Minister for Economics and Technology (2009), Federal Minister of Defence (2009-2011) of Germany

We should enrich our diversity and we should
celebrate our diversity, and at the same time find a
way how to understand each other. This forum has
played a crucial role the last years how to bridge
the gap among different cultures, different ideas,
different religions.Gholamali Khoshroo, Deputy foreign minister for legal and International Affairs
of the Islamic Republic of Iran (2002-2005)

The Forum made weighty contribution to the

an authoritative discussion floor for consideration
of urgent problems of evolution and interaction of
civilisations.Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia

dignitaries representing different cultures
and civilizations in this great Mediterranean
atmosphere will discuss pressing global issues.Matthias Platzeck, Minister President of Brandenburg (2002-2013),
